# Hadrian’s mausoleum is built as a monumental tomb on the Tiber

Date: 135

## The fact

In the 130s [Hadrian](/people/hadrian)’s mausoleum rose on the right bank of the Tiber, with the Pons Aelius as its approach. The dated tomb is not the later papal fortress and not Villa Adriana. Hadrian’s documented role is: He ordered a new dynastic tomb across the Tiber, later Castel Sant’Angelo. Later popes fortified it; the Hadrianic cylinder is the dated build. Do not convert papal fortress use into his act. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear.
